Free Event: Cost of Living Fair

Many of us are worried about the rising costs of living and the negative impact it will have on our finances, studies, and wellbeing while studying at University.

If you’re feeling the same, you’re not alone, and we’re here for you to make sure you can fully enjoy your time here at Birmingham.

Come along to the Great Hall on Monday 6 February for the Community Living’s Cost of Living Fair. Taking place between 11AM – 4 PM, there’ll be stallholders from University services alongside Birmingham City Council to share what support ­is available to help you.

Along with free refreshments and other freebies, you’ll have the chance to have receive advice and guidance tailored specifically for your student experience while at University. You don’t want to miss it!

Drop and swap clothes

Have something you no longer wear? Why not donate it at the Fair? Hosted by our very own Guild of Students, simply drop off an item of clothing and swap it out for something else that’s been pre-loved. Just make sure items are clean and in good condition.
